Below is a simple example of cartoon animation in which each frame is a keyframe containing a slightly different modification of the basic elements. In this example the body parts were created on a single layer using Object Drawing Mode to keep the objects from merging when overlapped. See the Dancing Stick Figure animation for an example which does not use Object Drawing Mode but instead uses layers to keep the objects from merging. Each has advantages and disadvantage.
